We celebrated the National Apprentice Week 2020 from 3 – 7 February 2020 with our 400 apprentices at Guy's and St Thomas' NHS Foundation Trust. The theme for this year was ‘Look Beyond’ which shun the barriers and celebrated the diversity and value that apprenticeships bring to employers, apprentices and communities across England.

Dr Flavia Flaviani is a Senior Bioinformatician at our the National Institute for Health Research Biomedical Research Centre (BRC) at Guy’s and St Thomas’ NHS Foundation Trust and King’s College London. Flavia recently visited Bishop Thomas Grant School in Streatham to talk to some of their year 12s as part of a special careers lecture for the Biology class. Flavia was asked to talk about DNA and how genes affect health, as well as her own career journey.
